Cocktails- are you a fan?

21stCenturyBoy · 10-10-2010, 01:10

Having experimented with drink mixing tonight, I've come up with a delightful combination that is a mix of Gin, Red Wine and Orange Juice.

Other people I speak to can't stand cocktails- are you a fan? And do you see the point in non-alcoholic ones.

BirthdayGirl · 10-10-2010, 01:26

Yep....and if anyone wants to make me a Cosmopiltan then thats a treat.

Oh and my name is Carrie ...x

Star_Bright · 10-10-2010, 01:28

A place I go to in Soho does the best Mai Tai cocktail ever - I could get addicted and I'm not even keen on alcohol!

Daysleeper · 10-10-2010, 10:02

I love, love LOVE cocktails. Favourites at the moment include a Bramble and a Ballet Russe.
Me and my best mate stumbled onto a lovely little bar in Edinburgh last year that does the most amazing cocktails. We're hoping to have tried every one on the menu by the end of this year.

Long Island Iced Tea - falling over juice

And white Russians, cuz I wanna be 'the dude'

stud u like · 10-10-2010, 10:18

Bellinis and anything else peachy.

My very first cocktail was in 1950. It was a ready mixed affair from a bottle. It was called Gilbey's "Odds On" cocktail.

sodavlac · 10-10-2010, 10:47

Do prawn cocktail crisps count? They're alright, although I haven't had any in ages.

Apart from a Bucks Fizz, or nicking my mum's snowballs when there was nothing else alocholic left in the house when I was much younger, I haven't really partaken.

HarryValley · 10-10-2010, 10:47

Wouldn't say I was a fan but I'll sup one if your buying

Desperados are kind of a primitive cocktail innit?

McLovin85 · 10-10-2010, 10:50

Not really a fan of cocktails as I can't keep my chops away from them after a couple and then wake up the dreaded hangover because I've mixed to many spirits.

Had a Guitar Hero in the O2 which was quite nice though, but the man with the beer rucksack on his back was my friend for the evening.

That's very true! I am a fan then!

*Joe* · 10-10-2010, 11:22

Love a good margarita

Tasty Delight · 10-10-2010, 11:26

I love them. I think I must be a throw back to the 80s (Del Boy) as I love Pina Colada!

I am a newby to Cosmopolitans but love them!!!

Tom Miller · 10-10-2010, 11:28

I love Cosmopolitans too but it's usually met with a sigh or tut if I order one. :P I like the more common ones like mojitos, margaritas and long island iced tea... not tried anything too fancy. Oh - and the bloody mary of course.

Pretinama · 10-10-2010, 11:29

Yes. I am.

iza1098 · 10-10-2010, 11:30

Mojitos in summer, yum - sadly, it's getting colder now. I don't have a sweet tooth but will substitute a pina colada for dessert when out - works for me.

princesarock12 · 10-10-2010, 11:31

I wouldn't say no to a Pina Colada

21stCenturyBoy · 10-10-2010, 15:22

I had a Margarita in Turkey and ended up vomiting blood. I'm not sure if there's a connection.

What does a Bloody Mary taste like- I've always wondered?

HollyG · 10-10-2010, 18:26

God yeh.

I love cocktails.

My faves are;

Margarita
French Martini
Rasberry/strawberry mojitos
Pina Colada

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

queenshaks · 10-10-2010, 18:33

I like Virgin Pina Colada!

jojo01 · 10-10-2010, 19:05

The only cocktail I really like is a Long Island Iced Tea - lots of alcohol and not too sweet. I don't really like the sweet ones, they're ok for a sip, but any more than that and they either fill you up or just become too sickly.
